We must admit, however, there is some logic at work here, however twisted. That’s because we packed so much advanced technology into our handheld gaming portable – and screwed the thing together so tightly – that tearing SHIELD apart takes a serious investment of time, and patience.

Or explosives.

Here are a few of the things these hooligans found when they blew their SHIELD up:

Tegra 4: The world’s fastest mobile processor can do many things. It has great battery life. It tears through web pages at record speeds. Its 72 GeForce GPU cores deliver an incredible gaming experience. It is not, however, bombproof.

Big, beautiful touchscreen – SHIELD’s 5-inch retinal touchscreen delivers stunning visuals, whether you’re playing games, watching movies, or trying not to sob as you watch a clip of three dudes destroying their SHIELD. We found that a soft, lint-free cloth will wipe the tears right off.

Console grade controls: Blow up SHIELD, and you’ll wind up with a pretty big pile of gaming gear. Our carefully engineered triggers, delightfully clickable shoulder bumpers, flickable analog control sticks, and perfectly mashable buttons were all but vaporized into a veritable cloud of gaming goodness.

MiMo WiFi – Our 802.11n 2X2 Mimo WiFi is built to move fast – but it’s not built to move like this. One question: Why? Why did you people do this?

Tag – SHIELD’s magnetic customizable faceplate popped right off in the explosion. Next time, a gentle tug will do.

A world-class speaker system – Games, movies, music. You’ll love what you hear when you turn up the volume on SHIELD’s custom-tuned, bass reflex audio system. It’s been engineered to blow you away. Just not like this.

Please don’t try this at home. You could hurt yourself. You’ll definitely void your warranty. And you’ll miss out on a great gaming experience.

They’re sick, my Shield has just come to my door step this morning and those guys blow their shield ?!

I’m going to enjoy my SHIELD to its last drop of power, I’ll stop reading this blog until its dead so that I will not getting tempted by Project Sword or Tegra 5, wake me up when Tegra 6 come… or which ever those 64 bit Tegra with 4 GB RAM come.
